Species #1:




Sorry these pictures aren't that clear. They were taken with a cell phone. I believe I have found a Psilocybe weilii.
Habitat: Found in the woods in the middle to northern part of Georgia
Gills: Can't remember before it got dirty.
Stem: The stem was an inch or maybe a little bit more and very tough to pull apart (like stringy). The stem and even the cap bruised blue.
Cap: I can’t remember the color of the cap exactly when I picked it. The Cap was mostly brown and black in the middle and getting lighter as it got to the edges.
Spore print color: The spore print color was hard to make out because I waited too long to make it. From what I could tell it looked bluish-gray, but I can’t be sure.
Bruising: Stem and Cap Bruised Blue
Location: Picked in Northern GA not too far above ATL.
Thanks for the help.

This is a toughy due to the picture quality, but it has psilo bluish style staining but i dont think thats what it is.
Its either a Collybia, or some type of Inocybe or something. (Psilo's are closely related to collybia,and i know they hacked that genus up)
However i honestly think you might have a psilo, it looks pretty waterlogged, what type of elevation was this found on?
Whats the smell of the mushroom? Does it smell very different from other mushrooms, like a very distinct smell?
Was it pretty difficult to pull out of the ground? What was it exactly growing off? Was their ground disturbance. More description please, you have something interesting.

am i the only one thinking that they look they may be one of the blue Stropharias? they are awefully robust. from the pics, i can't even be sure those are the same species, but then again, i can't tell if they are all the same specimen, though it looks like there are either two or the one which has been handled i]alot.
i am guarded in this, as the later pics look to show free gills. please describe the gill attatchment.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Yeah, that was my first thought, even before the thread was open good.
